Guns & Ammo Editor Resigns Over Controversial Article
/
Guns & Ammo editor Jim Bequette is stepping down after publishing an editorial, "All Constitutional Rights Need Regulation, Even 2nd Amendment." As a firearms magazine, Guns & Ammo doesn't typically include articles about regulation.
Bequette's apology was posted to the website:
"As editor of Guns & Ammo, I owe each and every reader a personal apology.
"No excuses, no backtracking.
"Dick Metcalf's 'Backstop' column in the December issue has aroused unprecedented controversy. Readers are hopping mad about it, and some are questioning Guns & Ammo's commitment to the Second Amendment. I understand why."
